Charlie, as most of his friends would call him, was a quiet man. He would say he was bashful, but when you got to know him, you soon understood that not to be true. His quick wit and many sayings let you know he was always listening. He enjoyed camping and fishing, hunting and spending time with his family. After being widowed for a second time, he moved to Arizona to live with his daughter and family. Many of his family came to visit.
He had a smile on his face – Every Day!
A Celebration of Life will be held in June in Hillsboro, North Dakota.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to any Hillsboro, North Dakota or hospice charity.
